History
[edit | edit source]1977 mission massacre
[edit | edit source]During the Rhodesian Bush War, the school and associated Musami mission was the site of massacre of clergy on February 6, 1977. Three members of the British Province of the Society of Jesus and four members of the Dominican sisters were shot and killed. The killers were not identified.[2] The unknown black guerrillas separated the white clergyman and teachers from the rest of the mission to a dirt road and opened fire with automatic weapons. Only Rev. Dunstan Myerscough survived because he had instinctively dropped to the ground right after the guerrillas opened fire. The deceased were British, West German, Irish and Kenyan citizens. At the time of the massacre, the mission had 400 black students and a 100-bed hospital.[3]
